My peaceful, modern, contemporary and healing painting of a portrait of Jesus Christ is hand painted in pastel on canson paper.(Just a reminder that the FAA mark will not show up on your purchase!)
I have many more colorful, mystical and spiritual works of art in my Jane Small Fine Art America gallery including a selection of paintings in the exquisite and unusual medium of melted beeswax. All my paintings are ideal if you are looking for a unique and beautiful gift in a beautifully harmonized and tranquil color scheme.

I am very well aware of what Jeses has done for us,..for me,..but I am happy that when I look into these eyes,..I cannot see woe or desperation,..but peace and love...So I presume, Jane,..that you wanted to depict Jesus having overcome all harm and woe,..and the chalice of pain and harm has transformed into a Chalice of Life... v/f Almo

I often looked at this portrait,..had scruples to comment on this one to be honnest,..perhaps of fear or veneration. There are many paintings and sculptures in the world where we see Jesus on the cross or in a typical religious scene...In this painting we can witness Jesus as the sun of Man, we
face him at eye level,..and he is looking right into our own eyes and he speaks to us....

Almo,I understand and respect deeply your comment.Thank you so much.I gave a print of this painting to someone once who saw it on my wall and wanted a copy of it.Some years later,I met him again and he told me that he loved the painting but it was so real to him,he felt that he was being looked in the eye and challenged to change something he didn't want to look at! So he put the painting in a cupboard,rather than have to face the challenge! I understand him,but believe this portrait to be challenging,yes,but infinitely gentle and non judgemental. I hope he was able to retrieve the painting at some point from the cupboard! I love what you have written and that you feel this portrait "speaks".

Jane,This is so magnificent. You did a brilliant job painting here. It definately reminds me of how my minds eye sees Him.I love this soooooo much.He is my peace. Love it and painting well done.I think you captured Jesus well. Thanks so for comments hun. Trying to feel better. Hugs,Marsha f/v
